Ponzi Pinot Noir Reserve 1995 - 25th Anniversary release; Willamette Valley, Oregon

It is rare to see US wines here, even more so to see any with any age on them, and even more so to find ones that I would like. So it is no surprise that this wasn't available here.

Lovely, earthy, savoury Pinosity with a juicy tomato sweetness to it. Rich, slightly sweet still and with vestiges of oak perhaps slightly noticeable, but mostly this is about aged Pinosity and savouriness and tarness mixed in with the ripeness. Refreshing finish. Very nice.

How nice to drink unavailable wines.
 
Otto, I had this last month at a dinner at a local vineyard. The owner pulled out a bunch of older Ponzi wines and the '95 Reserve was one of the best. And to think it was from the most challenging harvest in memory here.
